[Coco] S-video Prospects...

[John Kowalski]

Hi Stephen,

Here's the Basic program that displays the chart as seen in the photos.

10 FORG=0TO15:READA:PALETTEG,A:NEXT
20 FORG=0TO7:ATTRG,G:PRINT"ABC abc 123 ";:ATTRG,0:PRINT"ABC abc 123 ";
30 ATTR0,G:PRINT"ABC abc 123":NEXT:ATTR7,0:PRINT
100 DATA0,32,16,48,8,40,24,56,0,36,18,54,9,45,27,63
110 'DATA0,6,17,20,11,24,29,32,0,22,33,36,27,40,45,48

Make sure you do a WIDTH80 first before running.  The DATA in line 100 is
the RGB palette for the chart, and the DATA in line 110 is the CMP
equivalent palette for the chart.
It's there so you can comment out line 100 and uncomment line 110 if you
want to compare RGB/SVideo against the CoCo's normal composite video.

The photos I took where not of the whole screen, but just the area around
the color chart to show greater detail.
